This was a friend of mine, except it was cocaine.

Oh. What mental illness do doctors prescribe cocaine for?

[-] Narauko@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Typically it's prescribed for ghosts in the blood, but can pull double duty off-lable for ADHD if amphetamine is out of stock at your local apothecary.

It's not that they prescribe it, but it's also a tell for the ADHD when coke don't work as usual either.

Normally not for brain stuff, but it's considered to have valid medical uses as a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor in some cases.

Depends, do you mean doctors today or doctors in the late 19th and early 20th century?
